good bye C60 hello ford fat

[Niels V]

From what I have seen the rear body of a Cab 12 and Cab 13 gun tractor, look very identical. But I havent measured a cab 13 to confirm it.
Maybe some of our Cab13 CGT owners can help?

Sorry, I thought the style of the doors, not the dimensions... that thay are made of one piece folded sheet.. I won't hack this thread anymore, will ask somewhere else

Yes construction of the doors is the same . The doors are not made out of 1 piece , it is a flat piece folded over with a triple folded piece in it , do you get it ? , not so easy to make the folded piece . modern folding machines are pressing from the top , and won`t work .

Hi
Here are the measurements of the hatches on my CGT.
They might vary a bit from vehicle to vehicle.

Sylvain,

Great project, sad to hear it was butchered for the wrong reasons.

The bodies were manufactured by independent body manufacturers and could be fitted to either Ford or Chevrolet chassis.

The following scan may be of some help for its reconstruction:

Sylvain,

Congrats! That's a nice truck. It always hurts to see a truck a neglected truck.... that was once on the show circuit. But, you have a good base there to build up a nice truck again.

Hanno helped me to measure up a FAT body for RichCam a few years ago, but sadly that truck was pretty beaten up and missing the rear section of the body. If they are of any help, I can dig up what we measured, but I am sure Niels' complete truck will give more detailed info.

I bought some Chev cab 11 parts from a guy in France a few months ago; he still has some things, but sadly no front panelwork that i know of. I can send his email-address to you by PM if you like.

You can find NOS headlights at LWDparts in Holland. LWDparts also have NOS Chev grille surrounds for the Cab11....I think You could use this for a cab 12 with some work on the upper edges (?).
